The most important thing to say first is to point out the 'Hide my Visit' button at the top of this page. If you need to exit this site quickly, click on this link and it will automatically default to the BBC homepage. Secondly, you will notice that the word 'victim' is not used on this website. This is because our Partnership believes that anyone who is or has experienced domestic violence is a survivor, whether they are currently in a domestic violence situation or not.
The Bedfordshire Domestic Violence Partnership brings together the main statutory and voluntary agencies who are working together to provide and improve services in relation to domestic violence across Bedfordshire. The Partnership is actively implementing the Bedfordshire Domestic Violence Strategy and Action Plan which is available to download on this page to the left. The Strategy was officially launched in December 2006 at Bedfordshire's first annual Domestic Violence Conference. Please see the 'Partners' page for further information on the agencies who are members of the Partnership.
The Partnership has produced the domestic violence campaign literature that you can download to the left of the page. Further information about domestic violence services can be found on this website and its links as well as within the handbook.
It is widely known that there a higher proportion of female survivors than there are male survivors but this does not mean that it is of any less importance. Bearing this in mind, all of our resources and partner agencies do not discriminate and will offer the same service to female and male survivors.
